Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits are intimately related. They involve a chain of events from generation of sediment in the source area to erosion and transport through the drainage network, and subsequent deposition. These processes, and the deposits and landforms that they generate, have a fundamental bearing on engineering, environmental and public safety issues, on recovery of economic resources, and our general understanding of Earth history. This unique textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface...
